It is interesting that my mail is so far favoring an internal board approach. Given that, and the forthcomming Plug-n-Plan spec from Microsoft/Compaq/Intel/... and the hidious hassles of seting up IRQs, port addresses, etc. Does this suggest that a Plug-n-play board would be more attractive?
I need to examine the Plug-n-play spec. But if it's forthcoming, I'd be inclined to support the huge installed base. The hassles are more hideous with IRQs because there's less of them. This application doesn't really need an IRQ, since it's going to be polled anyway. A simple questionaire or install program can find a usable port that probably isn't taken. DosRef2.2 shows nothing assigned in the 0x400 range. Maybe you can grab something unique in there. - -- Roy M.
